This error can occur in various scenarios, particularly when working with the SAP S/4HANA system or the SAP ERP system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Customizing Settings: The error usually arises when the system expects certain customizing settings for a field (denoted by &1 in the message) but cannot find them. This could be due to:
  
  The field not being defined in the relevant customizing tables.
  The field being deactivated or not properly configured in the system.
  Missing entries in the relevant configuration tables that link the field to its functionality.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the customizing settings were recently transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there might have been issues during the transport that led to missing configurations.

  User Authorizations:
